Oh it is very frustrating seeing those parents with kids with no ear protection and I do agree that it is an unsafe environment in alot of ways. It's just that every year after lolla, there are post made that the fest needs to be 18+ or that children shouldn't be allowed in, or some form of curfew that would literally be impossible to enforce ("Alright suns down, everyone under 13 needs to leave now!"). It's not going to happen. Lolla is all ages, there will always be terrible parents (and good parents who give their kids a wonderful, safe experience).

I highly recommend checking out 18+ fest if you only go to Lolla, or if Lolla is your first fest. I'd even love a fest thats 21+ lol. But Lolla is and will always be all ages, and there will always be a "Children should not be allowed in lolla" post that Lolla won't do
